President's Statement
Asked by the CLARION for a
station on his election to Senate
presiding, Jack submitted the fol-lowing:
"I consider it both a privilege
and an honor to have been elected
president of the Student Senate.
"We have problems in many
areas and it is ridiculous to think
that we can solve all of them. But
it is not beyond our ability to do
the best job that we are capable
of doing. To this I shall try to
direct the Senate as its leader.
"We need your ideas, your
thoughts, and your sincere prayers
that God may direct us as we
strive for you."
Approximately 175 high school
seniors and graduates arrived last
night and this morning to parti-cipate
in the annual Prospective
Students Days activities. They rep-resent
the twin city area, Minne-sota
and the bordering states.
A full schedule is planned for
them from the time they arrived
till they depart, Wednesday after
dinner. It began last night with
get-acquainted activities in the
field house for those that arrived
Monday. This morning there was
chapel with Dr. Robert Smith,
professor of philosophy, and op-portunity
for class attendance.
The afternoon will be filled with
interviews with the faculty by stu-dents
interested in a particular
field, followed by a faculty-pros-tary;
and Marilyn Junker, sopho-more,
corresponding secretary.
Other candidates for offices
were: Bill Browning and Bud
Malmsten for treasurer, Phyllis
Anderson for recording secretary,
and Betty Nord for corresponding
secretary.
Hope Seffens will take over the
position of recording secretary
immediately to fill in the vacancy
left by the resignation of Phyllis
Engberg, 1956-7 recording secre-tary.
Phyllis resigned at the April
4 senate meeting because she was
not returning to school.
Three hundred seventy-one stu-dents
voted, 325 from the college
and 46 from the seminary. Ap-proximately
65 per cent of the
college student body voted, 5 per
cent short of last year's record 70
per cent vote.
All of the newly elected officers
have been requested by the Stu-dent
;Senate to be present at the
senate meetings for the remainder
of the school year. The purpose
of this is to acquaint these offi-cers
with the senate functions,
stated Glenn Ogren, present Stu-dent
Senate president.
The next senate meeting will
be held on April 17 at 8 D.M.
pective students reception in the
chapel. Dress-up supper tonight
will be followed at 8 o'clock by a
musical program including the
choir and male chorus and interp-retive
reading by Dr. Paul Grabill,
assistant professor of English. The
regular student body is invited to
this program.
Tomorrow the prospective stu-dents
will hear from President Carl
Lundquist in the chapel hour and
will have further opportunity for

An Annual Challenge
The CLARION would like to be among the first to congratulate
Mr. Tierney on his election to the Senate presidency. We would like to
place in this next year's Senate our confidence and encouragement to
carry out the ideals and plans that you have expressed. We pledge our
assistance and resources to support your program.
The student government's opinions and ideas are not always those
of a rebellious child as is often intimated. Rather they are more often
a product of reflective, maturing feelings of the larger student body,
culminating in a synthesis that reveals progressiveness, stability,
creativeness, and positive direction. To achieve the most desirable and
truly representative opinions, the interest, participation, and support of
the student body is necessary. This we would help you stimulate.
Hitherto the administration's and faculty's attitude to student,
government bears a marked resemblance to the sympatheties of the
medieval regent who is oversensitive to the "divine right of kings" no-tion.
Assuming a position of superior insight and authority they at-tempted
to pacify their subjects without acknowledging their wants.
There is a need for clarification and improvement of the basis and
system of communication. An increased knowledge, respect, and ap-preciation
of those in authority and their problems would be in order.
This, of course, must be vice versa.
A third area of improvement would be within the student govern-ment
itself. We would demand of you a constant check upon yourselves
as to the representativeness of your actions and ideas. We demand an
increased respect for our constitution. We demand that you live up to
the promises and ideals that you have displayed.
The Christian's Place
by Lawrence Van Heerden
The New Testament is studded with paradoxes. These are sets
of seemingly opposite truths which belong together, but are very diffi-cult
to reconcile to each other.
One such glaring paradox is that the Christian is to be "in the
world", but not "of the world" in the sense of subscribing to all its
values and standards. Rightly approached these two emphases create a
delicate balance in Christian living which is very difficult to retain.
Either we err on the side of "worldliness" or we degenerate into a
modern version of medieval "monkery" without the monastery. A
type of separation which is really escapism.
But the challenge is still ours. The paradoxical balance must be
maintained if we are to be the most effective on the horizontal level.
The declaration of Christ that we "are not of this world, but chosen
out of the-W- orid" does not in any way relegate our responsibility to
be the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world".
Restricting the application of this basic Christian philosophy to
the realm of the social—that is, our cultural, aesthetic and recreational
activities—we offer the following principles:
Our horizontal relationships with society must always be controlled
by our vertical relationship to God. To neglect our growth in God-consciousness
and to gloss over the depths of our appalling self-center-edness
is spiritual suicide. Like Demas we will soon be sucked up into
the prevailing perversions of the "herd"—secular society snubbing God.
Having cultivated God's presence and grace we must then strike
out into the sea of society. Immediately our superficiality will be ex-posed
and the confusing milieu will either destroy us or beat us into
spiritual steel. Every temptation, every challenge to help a reeling man-kind
will drive us to God for fresh wisdom and moral stamina. But
who can doubt the glory of such a life ? Only those who have never
had a vision of God's concern for man.
Participation on the horizontal level should never be debunked in
the name of a higher spirituality. The recluse and the mystic is not
God's favorite. Unless perhaps he returns into this world to triumph
over life and to lift up human life. "He who says that he loves God,
but hates his brother, is a liar!" The restless herd of men is desperately
in need of the "spiritual man". Likewise the man of God cannot re-main
truly holy unless he lives and moves among men as Jesus did.
We are told that he ate and drank with publicans and sinners. Thank
God we have His example as a warning to the ascetic and the separa-tist.
Be distinct from this world ? Yes! But separate from it ? Never!
Any attempt to standardize and crystalize the Christian's horizontal
activities must always be resisted. The establishment by the Church of
any list of taboos automatically excludes the "faithful" from the liberty
which is theirs in Christ. Unfortunately it also means away the crea-tive
and the unorthodox—this to the church's loss. Individual differ-ences
and responsibilities, cultural idiosyncrasies and the terrible danger
of legalism all mitigate against universal conformity. Further, the
N. T. demands of everyone the fruits of the Spirit, not the observances
of certain days or the eating of food. "Let each man be fully pur-suaded
in his own mind" and let each respect the other's opinions and
actions! We are each responsible to our Lord and Master.

Time For
Meditation
The following prayer is reprint-ed
from the April 5 issue of the
"Gustavian Weekly:"
Preserve, 0 God, within our
hearts the need of someone
greater than ourselves . . .
lest we forget that Thou art
God.
Renew within us all a greater
zeal to live and love for Thee
and for our fellowmen.
Accept our thanks for what Thou
has bestowed on us. Forgive
us all for much of what we
do or say or have not done.
Yielding all our self to Thee in
trust, we seek Thy strength
and light to guide us on this
dusty road called life.
nter in, 0 Holy Spirit, sinful
as our hearts may be, and
evermore abide with us, that
we through love may shed
some light on dark and
dreary lives. Remind us of the Cross and of
the Suffering Son of God
who did succumb to shame
that we might live with Him
in all eternity if we but lay
our sins before that Tree.
Amen.

•Library Complaint
Dear Editor:
Am I right in assuming that the
library is for the use and conven-ience
of the students on campus ?
If so why is it the sweet librarians
always refuse to renew books un-less
you bring every single book
with you.
When I write a paper or give a
report I usually have about a mil-lion
books checked out on the sub-ject.
They are all due the same
day so when they come due I make
out a list of the titles and their
numbers. This I give to the lib-rarian
on duty with a polite "Re-new
these please." In return I get
an even more polite "You have to
have the books with you. I'm
sorry." She's so sorry, in fact,
that the next day she sends me an
overdue slip and when I finally
bring the books back she'll send
me a little note with the amount
of the fine on it.
So I try a different librarian.
Same sad story. I keep the books
out, they continue to send blue
slips and refuse to renew them
unless I bring the books with me.
My question, Editor, is this:
Why must I bring all two million
books back to the library in order
to get them renewed ? I will ac-cept
any reasonable answer and
submit silently to my fate of lug-ging
all three million books back
until I get a sufficient answer I
will not lug the four million books
back.
Please answer my question soon
because while you delay I must
pay overdue rates on my five mil-lion
books.
Sincerely,
Broke
P.S. I might add this is an excel-lent
subversive method of obtain-ing
library funds.
Ed. note: All letters submit-ted
to the CLARION for pub-lication
must be signed. How-ever,
the name will be with-held
if desired.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
by Deck Bibler
Seasonal Thoughts
by Bryan Harris
I'm just a little boy, but I get around a lot. Today there is a parade
in the city. That man in the parade who is riding the donkey is one
whom I have seen before. He is always in the middle of crowds. The last
time I saw him was when he took my lunch and divided it up for every-body
in the crowd. That was a miracle 'cause no matter how much he
gave out he still had some left for me. People call him the miracle man.
Another time when I saw him he picked me up on his knee and talked
to some men about being like a little child. He didn't know that I was
bigger than a child, but I didn't mind 'cause he was so kind.
Today he looks sad, even though he is riding in the parade and
people are cheering him. I heard some grownups say that some leaders
didn't like him. Will they kill him if they get a chance ? It doesn't seem
right to me. Bad is always popping up where good is.
Well, guess that's the end of the parade. I like that man. Wish I
could give him another lunch some time. Maybe if he did more miracles
the people would protect him from those leaders. If ever I can help him
I surely will, and I am always going to do things that I think would
make him happy. I'm no sissy! I'll fight for him. He will need other
brave boys, and He will need me. We are the only ones to do it 'cause
he might not be around much longer.

The Athletic Banquet held in
Schunemann's River Room Satur-day,
April 13, was the setting for
the trophy presentation to John
Berg, center on this year's football
team, and William Conrad, guard
on the basketball team, who were
chosen "most valuable" in their
respective sports.
John, a 190 pound senior from
Chicago, Ill. has had four years
experience on the team. Sighting
no previous football experience, he
developed into an aggressive, hard-fighting
lineman. Other than play-ing
his position at center he has
filled in at guard on offense and
as a tackle or linebacker on de-fense.
Bill, who was one of the co-captains
of the basketball team,
was the leading scorer with 16.2
points per game. Having played
four years of basketball at Bethel,
he is known best for his set shot
which he scores on readily. Bill
lives in St. Paul and sports pre-vious
basketball background from
Minnehaha academy.
The most valuable player award
is the first of its kind to be given
at Bethel. Instituted this year by
the "B" club, it will become an
annual award to be presented in
the team sports of football, bas-ketball
and baseball.
The criteria used by the team
members in making their choices
are in three areas : attitude, ability,
and sportsman-like conduct.

FMF Forms New Gospel Teams Semester System Brings
On March 24, Bethel's Foreign Change In Registration
Missions Fellowship, under the
leadership of Ben Cording, launch-ed
forth on a new idea for gospel
team work. This new idea is mani-fested
in the form of three teams,
each specifically centered on mis-sions.
Panorama of Conference Mis-sions,
the first team, consists of
ten members. Its purpose is to
give an idea of the world wide ex-tent
and accomplishment of the
Baptist General Conference Mis-sionary
program. To do this the
team has been divided into five
groups, each representing a dif-ferent
mission field. Both panto-mime
and dialogue are included in
the program.
The second team, World Relig-ions,
dramatizes four predominant
religions of the world. Mohammed-ism,
Hinduism, Buddhism and Ani-mism.
The aim of this team is to
show the worlds need for mis-sions.
Great Missionaries, is the theme
of the third team. The purpose
of this gospel team is to present
a missionary challenge through
narrating the lives of such mis-sionaries
as John and Betty Stam,
who were martyred in China.
Special music and costuming are
used by all of the teams to aid in
making the presentation more ef-fective.
Ben Cording, stated that the
teams have been excellently re-ceived.
There have been calls for
them each week. He added that
because of the excellent reception
and apparent success of this new
idea, he expects this gospel team
project to be renewed next fall.
Deadline Set
For Contest
The deadline for the Alcohol and
Safety editorial contest which is
open to all full-time college stu-dents
who have not written pro-fessionally
is May 1.
An ward of $25 will be present-ed
to the Bethel student writing
the best 500-800 word editorial.
However, all students entering the
local contest may also enter the
national contest sponsored by the
Intercollegiate Association far Stu-dy
of the Alcohol Problem.
Fifty cash awards, the first be-ing
$200 and the second $150, and
50 scholarships to the Intercollegi-ate
School of Alcohol Studies will
be given in the national contest.
Manuscript must be typewritten
double spaced or written in ink.
The authors name must not appear
on the manuscript.
Additional information and entry
blanks, which must be attached
to every editorial, may be obtained
from Dr. Virginia Grabill.
College seniors will be the first
Bethel graduating class to take
the Area Tests of the Graduate
Record examinations, which will
be given Tuesday, May 7.
The four-hour test includes three
one-and-one-fourth hour sections,
one each in natural science, social
science, and humanities. These tests
are designed to measure breadth
of knowledge and understanding in
these three broad areas of liberal
arts. The natural science test cov-ers
the fields of physics, chemistry,
biology, astronomy, and geology;
the social science test, sociology,
economics, and political science;
and the humanities test, literature,
philosophy, and the arts.
Being given upon recommenda-tion
of the Bethel educational stud-ies
committee, the test will be used
primarily to evaluate the over-all
program of the school in compari-son
with other colleges in the count-ry•
Students, however, will be in-formed
of their scores, which will
be included in their academic re-cords.
This test, one of three put
out by the Educational testing ser-vice,
is also used as a basis for
selection of students by some grad-uate
schools.
The tests, which cost the school
approximately $3 per student, will
be administered by Royal Bloom,
director of student guidance, in
close cooperation with the Educa-tional
Testing service at Princeton
university.
Nurse's To Hold
Field Discussion
The Nurses' Christian Fellow-ship
will hold an informal discus-sion
concerning various aspects of
nursing on Tuesday April 23, at
8:00 p.m., in the Student Center
Lounge.
All students interested in the
nursing profession as a future car-eer
possibility are invited to come.
Under the new semester system
next year classes will start Sept.
18 and February 5. Registration for
upperclassmen for the first sem-ester
will be Sept 16 and 17.
Freshmen tests, including place-ment
tests in foreign languages
and chemistry, will be given Sept.
11 and 12, followed by freshman
registration, Sept. 13, and retreat,
Sept. 14 and 15.
Job Placement
Service Opened
The placement service of the
Student Affairs office is now open
for counselling and job placement,
Dean Elving Anderson recently
announced.
The new placement service is
an extension of the part-time em-ployment
placing which was done
in the past, plus long-term placing.
The service is accepting the re-quests
of seniors and other stu-dents
for full-time jobs. Vocational
counselling in addition to that gi-ven
by faculty members is avail-able
to all students.
Dean Anderson said that letters
requesting employment leads are
being sent to all Bethel alumni.
He added that the service is a re-cognition
by the administration of
its responsibility to the student
in the vocational area as well as
course work.
BWA Banquet
To Be May 1
BWA's twentieth anniversay
will be celebrated at the annual
formal banquet to be held May
1, in the dining hall.
Each year the banquet is held
in honor of the graduating women
students. Musical numbers, instal-lation
of the new officers and
recognition of the graduates are
included in the program.
Date for Chorus
Auditions Set
Auditions for all interested in
singing in the Male Chorus next
year will be held during the week
of May 13, Mr. Sheldon Fardig,
director, announced recently.
Last weekend the Male Chorus
made a trip to the Iron Range.
Friday night they gave a special
alumni concert which was follow-ed
by a reception at the Bethel
Baptist Church in Duluth. This
was the ninth in the series of con-certs
given by the Male Chorus
following their return from the re-cent
tour of the mid-west.
Howie Rekstad, assistant con-ductor,
has been directing the Male
Chorus during their recent appear-ances.

Baccalaureate and graduation
are scheduled for June 8. There will
be a two-week Christmas vacation;
Thanksgiving and Easter vacations
will be from Thursday through
Monday. According to Dr. Clifford
Larson, dean of the college, this
schedule approximates that of other
private colleges similar to Bethel.
Dean Larson gave the following
advantages of the change from
quarters to semesters:
"It is more educationally advis-able.
Studying areas of larger
blocks of learning over longer per-iods,
often combining many small-er
courses, provides a better learn-ing
experience.
"To get ready for the change to
semesters every teacher had •to
rethink his courses.
"Also, Bethel is followinng a
trend of schools in the United
States to go back to the semester
system.
"We will save the time used for
finals at the end of each quarter.
One week will thus be gained.
"Bookkeeping will also be de-creased."
In reviewing these advantages,
Dean Larson concluded, "We
want to provide the student with
the best experience possible for
him."
Conference
Report Given
Bethel was the only one of the
25 Christian colleges represented
at the Christian College Student
Council Convention that does not
have compulsory chapel attendance
reported Art Erickson and Jack
Tierney at the April 4 senate
meeting.
At this conference, which was
held March 8-9 at Wheaton col-lege,
problems such as social pro-grams,
honor system, leadership,
religious activities and chapel
were discussed. Bethel's delegates
considered the conference worth
while in that new ideas developed
from the discussion of these prob-lems
with representatives from
other colleges.
However, the main purpose of
the conference was not problem-solving,
but deciding whether or
not a Christian College Confer-ence
should be formed. The final
decision will be made at another
conference which will be held next
year. This year's conference dele-gates
decided that several prob-lems
need to be faced preceding
the formation of such a conference,
including that of who would deter-mine
which colleges are Christ-tian.

President's Statement
Asked by the CLARION for a
station on his election to Senate
presiding, Jack submitted the fol-lowing:
"I consider it both a privilege
and an honor to have been elected
president of the Student Senate.
"We have problems in many
areas and it is ridiculous to think
that we can solve all of them. But
it is not beyond our ability to do
the best job that we are capable
of doing. To this I shall try to
direct the Senate as its leader.
"We need your ideas, your
thoughts, and your sincere prayers
that God may direct us as we
strive for you."
Approximately 175 high school
seniors and graduates arrived last
night and this morning to parti-cipate
in the annual Prospective
Students Days activities. They rep-resent
the twin city area, Minne-sota
and the bordering states.
A full schedule is planned for
them from the time they arrived
till they depart, Wednesday after
dinner. It began last night with
get-acquainted activities in the
field house for those that arrived
Monday. This morning there was
chapel with Dr. Robert Smith,
professor of philosophy, and op-portunity
for class attendance.
The afternoon will be filled with
interviews with the faculty by stu-dents
interested in a particular
field, followed by a faculty-pros-tary;
and Marilyn Junker, sopho-more,
corresponding secretary.
Other candidates for offices
were: Bill Browning and Bud
Malmsten for treasurer, Phyllis
Anderson for recording secretary,
and Betty Nord for corresponding
secretary.
Hope Seffens will take over the
position of recording secretary
immediately to fill in the vacancy
left by the resignation of Phyllis

Phyllis resigned at the April
4 senate meeting because she was
not returning to school.
Three hundred seventy-one stu-dents
voted, 325 from the college
and 46 from the seminary. Ap-proximately
65 per cent of the
college student body voted, 5 per
cent short of last year's record 70
per cent vote.
All of the newly elected officers
have been requested by the Stu-dent
;Senate to be present at the
senate meetings for the remainder
of the school year. The purpose
of this is to acquaint these offi-cers
with the senate functions,

An Annual Challenge
The CLARION would like to be among the first to congratulate
Mr. Tierney on his election to the Senate presidency. We would like to
place in this next year's Senate our confidence and encouragement to
carry out the ideals and plans that you have expressed. We pledge our
assistance and resources to support your program.
The student government's opinions and ideas are not always those
of a rebellious child as is often intimated. Rather they are more often
a product of reflective, maturing feelings of the larger student body,
culminating in a synthesis that reveals progressiveness, stability,
creativeness, and positive direction. To achieve the most desirable and
truly representative opinions, the interest, participation, and support of
the student body is necessary. This we would help you stimulate.
Hitherto the administration's and faculty's attitude to student,
government bears a marked resemblance to the sympatheties of the
medieval regent who is oversensitive to the "divine right of kings" no-tion.
Assuming a position of superior insight and authority they at-tempted
to pacify their subjects without acknowledging their wants.
There is a need for clarification and improvement of the basis and
system of communication. An increased knowledge, respect, and ap-preciation
of those in authority and their problems would be in order.
This, of course, must be vice versa.
A third area of improvement would be within the student govern-ment
itself. We would demand of you a constant check upon yourselves
as to the representativeness of your actions and ideas. We demand an
increased respect for our constitution. We demand that you live up to
the promises and ideals that you have displayed.
The Christian's Place
by Lawrence Van Heerden
The New Testament is studded with paradoxes. These are sets
of seemingly opposite truths which belong together, but are very diffi-cult
to reconcile to each other.
One such glaring paradox is that the Christian is to be "in the
world", but not "of the world" in the sense of subscribing to all its
values and standards. Rightly approached these two emphases create a
delicate balance in Christian living which is very difficult to retain.
Either we err on the side of "worldliness" or we degenerate into a
modern version of medieval "monkery" without the monastery. A
type of separation which is really escapism.
But the challenge is still ours. The paradoxical balance must be
maintained if we are to be the most effective on the horizontal level.
The declaration of Christ that we "are not of this world, but chosen
out of the-W- orid" does not in any way relegate our responsibility to
be the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world".
Restricting the application of this basic Christian philosophy to
the realm of the social—that is, our cultural, aesthetic and recreational
activities—we offer the following principles:
Our horizontal relationships with society must always be controlled
by our vertical relationship to God. To neglect our growth in God-consciousness
and to gloss over the depths of our appalling self-center-edness
is spiritual suicide. Like Demas we will soon be sucked up into
the prevailing perversions of the "herd"—secular society snubbing God.
Having cultivated God's presence and grace we must then strike
out into the sea of society. Immediately our superficiality will be ex-posed
and the confusing milieu will either destroy us or beat us into
spiritual steel. Every temptation, every challenge to help a reeling man-kind
will drive us to God for fresh wisdom and moral stamina. But
who can doubt the glory of such a life ? Only those who have never
had a vision of God's concern for man.
Participation on the horizontal level should never be debunked in
the name of a higher spirituality. The recluse and the mystic is not
God's favorite. Unless perhaps he returns into this world to triumph
over life and to lift up human life. "He who says that he loves God,
but hates his brother, is a liar!" The restless herd of men is desperately
in need of the "spiritual man". Likewise the man of God cannot re-main
truly holy unless he lives and moves among men as Jesus did.
We are told that he ate and drank with publicans and sinners. Thank
God we have His example as a warning to the ascetic and the separa-tist.
Be distinct from this world ? Yes! But separate from it ? Never!
Any attempt to standardize and crystalize the Christian's horizontal
activities must always be resisted. The establishment by the Church of
any list of taboos automatically excludes the "faithful" from the liberty
which is theirs in Christ. Unfortunately it also means away the crea-tive
and the unorthodox—this to the church's loss. Individual differ-ences
and responsibilities, cultural idiosyncrasies and the terrible danger
of legalism all mitigate against universal conformity. Further, the
N. T. demands of everyone the fruits of the Spirit, not the observances
of certain days or the eating of food. "Let each man be fully pur-suaded
in his own mind" and let each respect the other's opinions and
actions! We are each responsible to our Lord and Master.

Time For
Meditation
The following prayer is reprint-ed
from the April 5 issue of the
"Gustavian Weekly:"
Preserve, 0 God, within our
hearts the need of someone
greater than ourselves . . .
lest we forget that Thou art
God.
Renew within us all a greater
zeal to live and love for Thee
and for our fellowmen.
Accept our thanks for what Thou
has bestowed on us. Forgive
us all for much of what we
do or say or have not done.
Yielding all our self to Thee in
trust, we seek Thy strength
and light to guide us on this
dusty road called life.
nter in, 0 Holy Spirit, sinful
as our hearts may be, and
evermore abide with us, that
we through love may shed
some light on dark and
dreary lives. Remind us of the Cross and of
the Suffering Son of God
who did succumb to shame
that we might live with Him
in all eternity if we but lay
our sins before that Tree.
Amen.

•Library Complaint
Dear Editor:
Am I right in assuming that the
library is for the use and conven-ience
of the students on campus ?
If so why is it the sweet librarians
always refuse to renew books un-less
you bring every single book
with you.
When I write a paper or give a
report I usually have about a mil-lion
books checked out on the sub-ject.
They are all due the same
day so when they come due I make
out a list of the titles and their
numbers. This I give to the lib-rarian
on duty with a polite "Re-new
these please." In return I get
an even more polite "You have to
have the books with you. I'm
sorry." She's so sorry, in fact,
that the next day she sends me an
overdue slip and when I finally
bring the books back she'll send
me a little note with the amount
of the fine on it.
So I try a different librarian.
Same sad story. I keep the books
out, they continue to send blue
slips and refuse to renew them
unless I bring the books with me.
My question, Editor, is this:
Why must I bring all two million
books back to the library in order
to get them renewed ? I will ac-cept
any reasonable answer and
submit silently to my fate of lug-ging
all three million books back
until I get a sufficient answer I
will not lug the four million books
back.
Please answer my question soon
because while you delay I must
pay overdue rates on my five mil-lion
books.
Sincerely,
Broke
P.S. I might add this is an excel-lent
subversive method of obtain-ing
library funds.
Ed. note: All letters submit-ted
to the CLARION for pub-lication
must be signed. How-ever,
the name will be with-held

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
by Deck Bibler
Seasonal Thoughts
by Bryan Harris
I'm just a little boy, but I get around a lot. Today there is a parade
in the city. That man in the parade who is riding the donkey is one
whom I have seen before. He is always in the middle of crowds. The last
time I saw him was when he took my lunch and divided it up for every-body
in the crowd. That was a miracle 'cause no matter how much he
gave out he still had some left for me. People call him the miracle man.
Another time when I saw him he picked me up on his knee and talked
to some men about being like a little child. He didn't know that I was
bigger than a child, but I didn't mind 'cause he was so kind.
Today he looks sad, even though he is riding in the parade and
people are cheering him. I heard some grownups say that some leaders
didn't like him. Will they kill him if they get a chance ? It doesn't seem
right to me. Bad is always popping up where good is.
Well, guess that's the end of the parade. I like that man. Wish I
could give him another lunch some time. Maybe if he did more miracles
the people would protect him from those leaders. If ever I can help him
I surely will, and I am always going to do things that I think would
make him happy. I'm no sissy! I'll fight for him. He will need other
brave boys, and He will need me. We are the only ones to do it 'cause
he might not be around much longer.

The Athletic Banquet held in
Schunemann's River Room Satur-day,
April 13, was the setting for
the trophy presentation to John
Berg, center on this year's football
team, and William Conrad, guard
on the basketball team, who were
chosen "most valuable" in their
respective sports.
John, a 190 pound senior from
Chicago, Ill. has had four years
experience on the team. Sighting
no previous football experience, he
developed into an aggressive, hard-fighting
lineman. Other than play-ing
his position at center he has
filled in at guard on offense and
as a tackle or linebacker on de-fense.
Bill, who was one of the co-captains
of the basketball team,
was the leading scorer with 16.2
points per game. Having played
four years of basketball at Bethel,
he is known best for his set shot
which he scores on readily. Bill
lives in St. Paul and sports pre-vious
basketball background from
Minnehaha academy.
The most valuable player award
is the first of its kind to be given
at Bethel. Instituted this year by
the "B" club, it will become an
annual award to be presented in
the team sports of football, bas-ketball
and baseball.
The criteria used by the team
members in making their choices
are in three areas : attitude, ability,
and sportsman-like conduct.

FMF Forms New Gospel Teams Semester System Brings
On March 24, Bethel's Foreign Change In Registration
Missions Fellowship, under the
leadership of Ben Cording, launch-ed
forth on a new idea for gospel
team work. This new idea is mani-fested
in the form of three teams,
each specifically centered on mis-sions.
Panorama of Conference Mis-sions,
the first team, consists of
ten members. Its purpose is to
give an idea of the world wide ex-tent
and accomplishment of the
Baptist General Conference Mis-sionary
program. To do this the
team has been divided into five
groups, each representing a dif-ferent
mission field. Both panto-mime
and dialogue are included in
the program.
The second team, World Relig-ions,
dramatizes four predominant
religions of the world. Mohammed-ism,
Hinduism, Buddhism and Ani-mism.
The aim of this team is to
show the worlds need for mis-sions.
Great Missionaries, is the theme
of the third team. The purpose
of this gospel team is to present
a missionary challenge through
narrating the lives of such mis-sionaries
as John and Betty Stam,
who were martyred in China.
Special music and costuming are
used by all of the teams to aid in
making the presentation more ef-fective.
Ben Cording, stated that the
teams have been excellently re-ceived.
There have been calls for
them each week. He added that
because of the excellent reception
and apparent success of this new
idea, he expects this gospel team
project to be renewed next fall.
Deadline Set
For Contest
The deadline for the Alcohol and
Safety editorial contest which is
open to all full-time college stu-dents
who have not written pro-fessionally
is May 1.
An ward of $25 will be present-ed
to the Bethel student writing
the best 500-800 word editorial.
However, all students entering the
local contest may also enter the
national contest sponsored by the
Intercollegiate Association far Stu-dy
of the Alcohol Problem.
Fifty cash awards, the first be-ing
$200 and the second $150, and
50 scholarships to the Intercollegi-ate
School of Alcohol Studies will
be given in the national contest.
Manuscript must be typewritten
double spaced or written in ink.
The authors name must not appear
on the manuscript.
Additional information and entry
blanks, which must be attached
to every editorial, may be obtained
from Dr. Virginia Grabill.
College seniors will be the first
Bethel graduating class to take
the Area Tests of the Graduate
Record examinations, which will
be given Tuesday, May 7.
The four-hour test includes three
one-and-one-fourth hour sections,
one each in natural science, social
science, and humanities. These tests
are designed to measure breadth
of knowledge and understanding in
these three broad areas of liberal
arts. The natural science test cov-ers
the fields of physics, chemistry,
biology, astronomy, and geology;
the social science test, sociology,
economics, and political science;
and the humanities test, literature,
philosophy, and the arts.
Being given upon recommenda-tion
of the Bethel educational stud-ies
committee, the test will be used
primarily to evaluate the over-all
program of the school in compari-son
with other colleges in the count-ry•
Students, however, will be in-formed
of their scores, which will
be included in their academic re-cords.
This test, one of three put
out by the Educational testing ser-vice,
is also used as a basis for
selection of students by some grad-uate
schools.
The tests, which cost the school
approximately $3 per student, will
be administered by Royal Bloom,
director of student guidance, in
close cooperation with the Educa-tional
Testing service at Princeton
university.
Nurse's To Hold
Field Discussion
The Nurses' Christian Fellow-ship
will hold an informal discus-sion
concerning various aspects of
nursing on Tuesday April 23, at
8:00 p.m., in the Student Center
Lounge.
All students interested in the
nursing profession as a future car-eer
possibility are invited to come.
Under the new semester system
next year classes will start Sept.
18 and February 5. Registration for
upperclassmen for the first sem-ester
will be Sept 16 and 17.
Freshmen tests, including place-ment
tests in foreign languages
and chemistry, will be given Sept.
11 and 12, followed by freshman
registration, Sept. 13, and retreat,
Sept. 14 and 15.
Job Placement
Service Opened
The placement service of the
Student Affairs office is now open
for counselling and job placement,
Dean Elving Anderson recently
announced.
The new placement service is
an extension of the part-time em-ployment
placing which was done
in the past, plus long-term placing.
The service is accepting the re-quests
of seniors and other stu-dents
for full-time jobs. Vocational
counselling in addition to that gi-ven
by faculty members is avail-able
to all students.
Dean Anderson said that letters
requesting employment leads are
being sent to all Bethel alumni.
He added that the service is a re-cognition
by the administration of
its responsibility to the student
in the vocational area as well as
course work.
BWA Banquet
To Be May 1
BWA's twentieth anniversay
will be celebrated at the annual
formal banquet to be held May
1, in the dining hall.
Each year the banquet is held
in honor of the graduating women
students. Musical numbers, instal-lation
of the new officers and
recognition of the graduates are
included in the program.
Date for Chorus
Auditions Set
Auditions for all interested in
singing in the Male Chorus next
year will be held during the week
of May 13, Mr. Sheldon Fardig,
director, announced recently.
Last weekend the Male Chorus
made a trip to the Iron Range.
Friday night they gave a special
alumni concert which was follow-ed
by a reception at the Bethel
Baptist Church in Duluth. This
was the ninth in the series of con-certs
given by the Male Chorus
following their return from the re-cent
tour of the mid-west.
Howie Rekstad, assistant con-ductor,
has been directing the Male
Chorus during their recent appear-ances.

Baccalaureate and graduation
are scheduled for June 8. There will
be a two-week Christmas vacation;
Thanksgiving and Easter vacations
will be from Thursday through
Monday. According to Dr. Clifford
Larson, dean of the college, this
schedule approximates that of other
private colleges similar to Bethel.
Dean Larson gave the following
advantages of the change from
quarters to semesters:
"It is more educationally advis-able.
Studying areas of larger
blocks of learning over longer per-iods,
often combining many small-er
courses, provides a better learn-ing
experience.
"To get ready for the change to
semesters every teacher had •to
rethink his courses.
"Also, Bethel is followinng a
trend of schools in the United
States to go back to the semester
system.
"We will save the time used for
finals at the end of each quarter.
One week will thus be gained.
"Bookkeeping will also be de-creased."
In reviewing these advantages,
Dean Larson concluded, "We
want to provide the student with
the best experience possible for
him."
Conference
Report Given
Bethel was the only one of the
25 Christian colleges represented
at the Christian College Student
Council Convention that does not
have compulsory chapel attendance
reported Art Erickson and Jack
Tierney at the April 4 senate
meeting.
At this conference, which was
held March 8-9 at Wheaton col-lege,
problems such as social pro-grams,
honor system, leadership,
religious activities and chapel
were discussed. Bethel's delegates
considered the conference worth
while in that new ideas developed
from the discussion of these prob-lems
with representatives from
other colleges.
However, the main purpose of
the conference was not problem-solving,
but deciding whether or
not a Christian College Confer-ence
should be formed. The final
decision will be made at another
conference which will be held next
year. This year's conference dele-gates
decided that several prob-lems
need to be faced preceding
the formation of such a conference,
including that of who would deter-mine
which colleges are Christ-tian.
